Because they have not produced their documents, they are asked for them at the gate, prior to boarding call.
Except the OP stated that s/he is once again has to show their passport upon boarding which defeats the purpose of the document check. This is really annoying especially when the BP Remarks show DOK.

I too have had this at US outstations where the exact same agent who checked my passport wanted to see it again 5 minutes later during boarding! Her excuse? You might have changed/altered it!
